François-Xavier Maroteaux is taking over from Ronan Laborde as President of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.

AOC Médoc Blanc has been approved by INAO - meaning white wines carrying Médoc label will be possible from 2025 vintage. Will any of the big names like Pavillon Blanc use it?

So excited to share this week’s wine profile, of the incredible May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, 99 and more of a legend than ever (subscriber content) janeanson.com/the-incredib...

I miss Lalande-Borie. Such a great wine. Chateaux really need to recognise the brand value of great quality entry points to the big brother chateaux.

A switch at Lafon Rochet and Pédesclaux, as Christophe Congé and Vincent Bache-Gabrielsen switch roles - Vincent heading to St Estèphe and Christophe (back) down to Pauillac (he was at Lafite before joining the Lorenzetti estates). Just 10 minutes apart maximum, same owners!

Thanks #josevouillamoz for sharing this wonderful Armenian wine, made from ungrafted vines in traditional method practiced for many thousands of years… apricot, fennel, delicious.

Made a (quite short to begin with) wine people starter pack. I feel like the wine world is a bit under represented here so please point me in the direction of folk I ought to know / be adding. go.bsky.app/FhogrfS

Heading to Monaco tomorrow for this talk by Olivier Yobrégat of the Institute Français de la Vigne et du Vin on the history of ungrafted vines. The talk is in English, and it looks like you can follow it online if not in person - check out the link www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-co...

White harvest at Cheval Blanc started two days ago, with first reds beginning next week. Later than last year but #bdx2023 still going to be an early vintage.
